 How  can someone who wants  to be loved
 hate  it when they're loved  at all?
 Does  guilt really feel  that bad?
 Every  time I take  a breath, honey
I  feel the weight fall  back on me
Somebody  tell  me it's not so bad
 Collected  thoughts drown in sleep
 I  had forgotten what you mean to me
 I  forgot a lot of things
 What happens to the  old girl, what happens to the  boy?
 I  see their eyelids moving
 What happens to the old  boy, will he be destroyed?
 Is  this what I'm losing?
 But  I feel, feel
 But  I feel  something,  oh it's better than nothing
 I've  been sleeping in  his bed
 I'm  digging in  my head
 He  pulls the cash  from under the table
 Take  that breath and hold  it in
 Oh  it's sidling  in, he says
 It's  not so bad
 Collected  thoughts drown in sleep
 I  had forgotten what you mean to me
 I  forgot a lot of things
 What happens to the  old girl, what happens to the  boy?
 I  see their eyelids moving
 What happens to the old  boy, will he be destroyed?
 Is  this what I'm losing?
 But  I feel, feel
 But  I feel  something,  oh it's better than nothing
